The Generators (2010-2012) were a series of composition & performance solutions based on the idea of utilizing gradually opposing clock & control voltages to yield flowing canons of modal minimalism. The direct descendant of Playthroughs, this exploration of the implementation of algorithmic & generative processes in hardware was a rigorous three-year pursuit; the ideas in these patches are still heavily utilized as one of the building blocks of the Redactions series.

"Generator" was performed a number of times in a wide variety of situations & occasions, with the final performance given in September 2011 at Issue Project Room during a week-long celebration of the music of Eliane Radigue; along with Terry Riley & Laurie Spiegel, a major formal & conceptual influence on this particular piece. As a solo work, it has been revisited only once since then on the occasion of an invitation to perform on Revere Beach in Boston, MA; I had driven past the "Beach Generator" sign many times on the way there; a natural fit.
